What does Japan think of the GT500KR?

Having been to japan and doing an intensive research with in depth analysis on the question. I believe that japanese thinks that the ford shelby gt500kr is in the same family as the mustang.

My guess is that most folks in Japan haven't even heard of the 500KR yet.

But IIRC, the Japanese seem to have a fondness for old American muscle cars.

I'm not sure about Japan. But, while Nancy Pelosi was in Syria, she and Basher Al-Asad had a joint statement released about the KR. They quote, "The Shelby GT 500 will kick camel a$$" Even though they both hate America, they still believe it's an awesome car.

Pelosi and Al-Asad were smoking joints?

probably the same what they think about Corvette, 800 Corvettes were sold in Japan in the first four months of the previous year, they were expected to be sold in a year...

The correct answer to your question is that I do. It's nice to have some insite of the perspective of other countries when it comes to cars.
